So I'm havering some trouble sharpening my 4, I've tried every system I have and I can barely get to shave hair, where I can get my 10 screamin' sharp in like 10 minutes with a couple of stones. Any thoughts?
 
I've really considered it but the price has been deterring me, I know it's not the most expensive system out their but moneys kinda tight right now

I sometimes use paper wheels to sharpen mine. Works okay, but I don't practice with it enough.

Can't remember who was telling me this, but wrapping sandpaper around a Pringles can or dowel rod is supposed to work pretty well.

So then you'd be best off getting some wet/dry and a 1 inch dowel or a relatively narrow (1") piece of wood topped with craft foam or similar and then the sandpaper. Strop similarly with something slightly convex and a piece of leather, even an old belt will do. Get creative, or use some google-fu. You'll find something.
 
My nephew and nephew-in-law came to the farm to help me this weekend. We moved my old truck 50 miles from my parents place on Lake Travis back to the farm (1986 Dodge that is eventually gonna be my electric truck conversion project), moved a 500# safe into the garage for future movements, moved 6 -20ft long greenhouse racks made out of 2" pipe, mounted a camper shell on a pickup, and removed 2 pickup loads of 35 y.o. hay from the hayloft over to the mulch/compost pile. All in all, a good days work.

We sat down on the back porch and the n-i-l asked if there was any beer. I said yeah, in the fridge in the garage. I asked him to bring me an Angry Orchard. My nephew said "Surprise me."

The N-I-L brought back the beers - gave my nephew a Sundog Wheat Ale and had a Coors regular for himself. After a while, my nephew said, "Dang, this stuff is old." The label had a "born on Date" of 08 Feb 08. The N-I-L looked at his Coors and found a date of September 09. They asked me why I had such old beer lying around.

I said, "Y'all know I hate beer. Whatever is out there is whatever is left from whatever y'all bring when y'all visit. Y'all want fresher beer, ya gotta bring it more often."

After checking the fridge closer they found that the newest beer was 9 months old, with a few more in the 1-3 year old range. Needless to say, we did in my case of Angry Orchard tonight.
 
Today was a pretty cool day, woke up, got a new phone, had ball practice, mowed grass, cleaned my garage. No knife work today, but pretty happy with what got done.
 
Damn, this new phone going to take some getting used to. It is a Samsung galaxy s4. Anyone here a professional on them that can give me any advice?
 
After working in my yard most of the day, I sat down for a while to relax and to my surprise my son come into the house and said "hey dad, I made a fire " Keep in mind, he is 9....... The only thing he had was a Magua and a fire. Pretty proud of him.

We were gonna have a fire tonight, and cook some dogs, but it was too windy. We settled for burgers on the grill. IBTL.
 
Todd, did he cheat and use any lighter fluid? That's actually pretty awesome!

I have never used a Galaxy anything I'm a Blackberry guy. Love my phone but it isn't what MOST people need these days.

Just had some friends over to play cards and have supper. Ended up also playing Wii. That is a fun li'l system. I really enjoy playing Wii Sports and MarioKart Wii. Apparently people have a hard time with the Mariokart... Dunno!

I'm also quite disappointed in all of you! This thread should be dead! Necro-snark lives on!
 
F%#kin pissed........ This new phone sucks, can't figure out how to post pics............ heaven forbid they do it the same way the old phone did it.
